Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for male adult runners seeking a fast and smooth experience, ideal for tempo runs, track nights, or PR attempts. Its key benefit lies in the combination of a new nylon plate and responsive PWRRUN PB cushioning, providing snappy transitions and an effortless propulsion thanks to Speedroll Technology. A potential caveat is that while versatile, its primary design is for up-tempo running, so runners seeking maximum plushness for slow, recovery jogs might find other shoes more suitable.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is primarily designed for fast running, including tempo runs, interval training, and race day. It aims to provide a smooth, propulsive, and responsive ride.

How does the nylon plate differ from a carbon plate?

The nylon plate in the Endorphin Speed 5 is generally more flexible than a carbon plate, offering a snappier feel and better energy return for everyday speed training without the stiffness sometimes associated with carbon. It's designed for versatility.

Is this shoe suitable for marathon racing?

Yes, many runners find the Endorphin Speed 5 suitable for marathon racing due to its balance of cushioning, responsiveness, and lightweight design. Its versatility also makes it a strong contender for shorter races.

Can I use these shoes for everyday jogging or recovery runs?

While the shoe can be used for moderate training sessions, its primary design is for faster paces. Runners seeking maximum softness for very slow recovery runs might prefer a shoe with softer, more forgiving cushioning.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The lacing system should allow you to achieve a secure lockdown without excessive pressure.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The Endorphin Speed 5 has a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm (36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot).

How much do the shoes weigh?

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 weighs approximately 237g for a men's standard size.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or restrictive

Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing techniques to alleviate pressure points. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The PWRRUN PB foam may naturally compress slightly with extensive use. Ensure the shoe is clean and dry, as moisture can affect performance. Consider replacing the shoe after approximately 300-500 miles depending on usage and terrain.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the XT-900 outsole offers good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Run with caution and be mindful of your stride on slick surfaces.

Discomfort during long runs

Ensure the shoe's fit is correct. The FORMFIT and lacing system should provide a personalized feel. If discomfort persists, it might indicate the shoe's suitability for your specific foot mechanics or running style for prolonged efforts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers a fast and smooth ride ideal for tempo and race efforts.
  • Responsive cushioning with PWRRUN PB and a new nylon plate for snappy transitions.
  • Speedroll Technology enhances running efficiency and forward momentum.
  • Breathable and supportive engineered mesh upper for comfort.
  • Versatile enough for various training runs beyond just speedwork.

Cons

  • May feel too firm for runners seeking maximum plushness on slow runs.
  • The focus on speed might make it less ideal as an everyday recovery shoe for some.
  • Durability of the lightweight upper may be a concern for very high-mileage runners in rough conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 comes ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the lacing system is adjusted to your preference for a secure midfoot lockdown. The FORMFIT construction adapts to your foot shape during the first few runs.

Compatibility: This shoe is designed for road running. The XT-900 outsole provides good traction on dry and wet pavement. It is suitable for adult male runners and is available in various UK sizes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in hot environments like car trunks for extended periods.
